Table Tennis Strategy to Win

[@annakozlowska3455]

Thank you for making these videos. I had a few coaches in US and spend lot of money and I didn't learn as much as from your work. Amazing !!! In 2 weeks watching and applying 5 key point my rating went 200 points up. Please continue with your great videos!

[@SilentArc]

Anna Kozlowska where did you live for the coaching?

[@pingsunday]

+Anna Kozlowska thank you

[@sicat64]

Anna Kozlowska and a man

[@garbol84]

Thank you for answering in video. After thought and analysis i must say that you are right. For me as fh dominant player is easier to finish the point from fh corner BUT when i dont finish it, usually i lost control and mostly lose that point. Because my attacking initiative has ended. I get it now :)

[@siddheshmisale3904]

Thanks for the amazing tactics coach. This is the surely the best table tennis channel for learning the true form of table tennis. I have been your earliest follower since your first video. I'm glad that you have garnered so much attention and popularity among table tennis enthusiasts. I have a question. Why is the playing style of feng yalan so different from that of lui shiwen, hirano and other female players. Yalan's style looks more powerful with better follow through and wide arc in forehand loop. More like ma long or Zhang jike. Please tell us your view. Thank you. Jiao yo Emrathich!

[@bobbycarballo8104]

every time after i watch your video i just said to myself "AHH, THAT'S WHY". amazing!! truly amazing. keep it up.

[@MuhammadIsmail-pv9uf]

I really appreciate your efforts in making such videos, this is the stuff which I was looking for " tactics & strategy ". The pictures helped me a lot to understand the situation. Thank you so much.

[@victornoboru]

You offer such a great contribution to us, table tennis enthusiasts! Thanks once again!

Coach, saya berencana mendirikan komunitas dan menjadi pelatih resmi Tenis Meja di Provinsi saya di Indonesia. Saya tidak akan pernah melupakan jasa besar Anda, juga saya ingin banyak tahu tentang Anda. Waktu demi waktu. Terima kasih banyak, my great one and only😅 table tennis Coach in this earth. 😀

[@amansinha1992]

Thank you for your videos. In the last couple of months, I have applied your videos during my game and suddenly I realized everything fits well to me. Whether it is identifying the opponent playing style or power from the ground or this video. I am a forehand dominant player and I like to pivot and finish the point. I always wondered if doing a reverse pendulum would bring the ball on my forehead and then I can execute my forehand. It was quite difficult for me, I kept Training hard at practice using my reverse pendulum and attack, it explains beautifully in the video that I should from the favorite position to the dominant position. I will keep applying your techniques and strategies in my subsequent matches. Thank you so much for the videos. :)

[@kaustavray3164]

I have always tried to play tactically. But this video has given me much better clarity on how I should construct a rally.

[@jkuang]

Coach EmRatThich, thank you for yet another great video. Do you think you can make a video on Miu Hirano? She just won over three top Chinese national team players. And many people think that the significance of her victory is on how she won them. From my understanding, she focuses a lot on aggressive fast loop (on the top of the bounce) so reduce the preparation time for the powerful Chinese forehand loops. And she always places the ball with extreme wide angles so the Chinese can not use their favorite and consistent forehand or backhand skills easily. In addition, she can serve really well, with both power and variations. This reduces the chance for the Chinese players to use the receive and attack tactic. Thus giving her the chance to open up with powerful fast loop and wide angle landings. You might have more insights on her playing style and tactics. Hopefully you can make a video on her. She is a game changer. Thank you!

[@pingsunday]

+Jin Kuang yes. i will make a video for miu hirano

[@tve05]

Great lesson but it has one unclarity - *why the opponent is forced to return where we expect???* Opponent can return the same serve to the left or to the right by just rotating his body a bit side to side. Or does it mean not spiny enough serve? *I am so tired of hundreds of the same videos about how to hit, I want more videos like this - where to hit and why to hit!* Best tactics video I have seen so far!

[@danielmurad9446]

Absolute amazing!Very helpful.

[@ALandarion]

Thanks for the good video. In fact being the fh player myself and serving both pendulum and reverse serves I have noticed that I win more points with regular pendulum serves, which seemed illogical, I was taking it for granted and considering that my reverse serves were just not good enough. But now I see the real explanation.

[@adamkaram1471]

an amazing video as always.. i have a question for you i would your help in. i have a problem in deciding the amount of backspin on a push .. sometimes it's not heavy so the ball flies off the table .. sometimes it's heavy backspin and i think it's not so i close the racket angle and it goes into the net.. any suggestions?

[@CGoliday1]

I love this video because I love table tennis and I cant give all my time or money to remember all the things I learned in my 5 years playing So thank you for the reminder and keeping me sharpyou really are a great coach, thanks coach EmRatThich

[@jimmyandersen1299]

Thank you very much for describe these situations and tactics. I will keep check your videos for ever. I have study a few year many many hours every week and know the most but your tactics and descriptions is very interesting to follow and I have already tried a few and they really works. But really hard touse them at every ball, but in startof a match or in breaks and in bad situation I have to stop and rethink and use some of these tricks and tactics. Many times I have won matches already down 0-2 and won 3-2 caused by your videos. For sure its very hard to be consistant and use them with understanding but many of your videos helps me depending mostly on the other player style as you desribed in another video. When understand the other player first THEN, its possible to adjust small things to take over the control of the balls. :) thanks keep do more videos and tactics. My worst enemy is when I meet players that push the ball hard underspin against body after my serve and I have to move and do not get the time to turn and use Forehand. Of course the tactics is to serveother types of serve but if I want to serve side or side topspin good players see the spin and this is what happens :) So. I keep the serves now short mostly and spread and go for the flip or psuh after my own serve to hope for an opening shoot with forehand or backhand directly after.

[@pursuitofcat]

Do You have any good strategy for Defenders players? How to win a match as a modern defensive player using pips rubbers on oneside mostly backhand and regular inverse rubber on forehand, do you have any good tactics for serve and return serve too? thanks :)

[@davidryanguasrojas2241]

Thanks for the video, i have been following your videos for a time and this is one of the most interesting for me. I would like to ask about tactics for playing against short pimples rubbers specially about how to serve against them and how to respond to a long attack stroke made with the rubber since depending on the player and the tension it may have no spin, little spin or certain topspin rotation if the ball had heavy underspin. Thanks a lot again and good Sunday.

[@caiom3482]

Thank you so much , this material is really very good , the advices given here and the certain theory pass confidence for the table tennis student . I will sure reflect more and see again the video

[@satyam321]

Using your strategy and tactics, I've been able to beat players very easily, where I was struggling. Thank you!

[@pingsunday]

+Satyam Sookaloo haha. great

[@Technical.Table.Tennis]

Tactics are so important. I find that in order to think about tactics during a game, a person needs to have strong sports psychology. Focusing on what's happening during the action is hard to do and takes practice as well.

[@LostParadise5]

Thanks for this great video! It really got me thinking about the best tactics for my next training session.

[@Sherlock-Homeless]

Wow this video is AMAZING!!! Thanks a lot for a quality coaching session i won't find anywhere else :D

[@chichiku9724]

Hi Coach, great lessons today, it was not obvious but now it makes real sense. It all starts because of the original position of a right handed player against a right handed players which is the most common situation. It works because the forehand has the most reach and it is usually the stronger shot. Coach, you can use your experience notes and write a table tennis strategy book, I will be your first customer! Write it and sell it on Amazon!

[@volodymyr3474]

your theoretical knowledge helps a lot ... thank you for doing it for free, just for your support on youtube ...

[@abhinavbasu8319]

I can't get enough spin on my pendulum serve. I try very hard. I can do reverse pendulum serve with lot of serve. what to do I try to copy Zhang Jike style

[@dimashevchenko1360]

Abhinav Basu You should try to spin the ball with the wrist without serving. Getting the feel of the serve with lots of spins.

[@jkuang]

That is because your wrist and forearm are not relax enough. The reason that your wrist and forearm are not relax enough is because you use them as the main power source. Thus the muscles are all tight up and you can not perform the "whipping" on the ball using the wrist/forearm. You need to add the waist/hip rotation into the serve so the forearm and wrist can be relax enough to perform extreme fast whipping to create the spin. The waist/hip rotation should be compact and leading slight ahead of the forearm and wrist. Do no over do the waist/hip rotation because you will slow down the rotation. Make the rotation extremely short and concentrated, right before the wrist/forearm whip.

[@PankajKumar6493]

I had the same problem. By reverse pendulum is spinny but inconsistent still. My pendulum used to be consistent though less spinny. Just practice alone and try to make your pendulum server as snappy as your reverse pendulum. It will be inconsistent initially but after enough practice it'll become consistent. try to control it less initially and focus on applying more spin. There is a channel "tomorrow table tennis". watch his videos.

[@renlorenzo667]

My strategy FIRST:SMASH DEFEND BY LOB SECOND :TOPSPIN BY BLOCK THIRD:ANY SERVE BY EFFECTIVE PUSH FOURTH:CHOP FORCE INCREASE FIFTH:FLICK AND COUNTERS FOR INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS. SIXTH:PLAY AND PUT THE BALL OPPOSITE TO THE OPPONENTS COURT SEVENTH:PRACTICE FOOTWORKS LIKE PIVOT, ONE STEP, FALCUNBURG ETC EIGHTH: HAVE FUN

[@gilbertoyaxcal6310]

I will back to this video from time to time, because it is really good. THANKS

[@kioka2]

Wow, I had never imagined such situations on the table! Many thanks coach! Five stars!

[@JAYDEV402]

Hi Coach EmRatThich, Recently, i watched Fan Zhendong vs Liam Pitchforld match, World Team Cup In the first set, FZD lost. From the second game, he switched to Reverse Pendulum Serves, instead of the Pendulum Serves. And, he could crack Liam down. I think, because of Liam's extraordinary Backhand, Fan changed to the Plan B. He played with the Serve and Attack Plan B(Reverse Pendulum Serves). Now, the question is, how many Serve and Attack Plans should a player have? I have only Plan A (Pendulum Serves and Attacks), but I am looking forward for the Plan B, like FZD, after watching the match. I do know that there may never be too many Serves and Attack Plans, which may create a mess, in a given situation and dilemma may cover the mind. I never have seen a player who does variety of serves and win, because of it, too. So, i think you are the coach, who can give proper guidance to all of us. If possible, please make a video, too. Thanks a lot, Sir!

[@nuridemir5613]

[@sibkumar2640]

how to return side spin serve and how to return serve when you don't know what type of spin is in the ball, please help

[@s0810024]

before answering your answer, you should note that if you cannot identify the spin, then you are already in a disadvantage, so your job is to minimize this disadvantage and focus on points that you serve but not trying to win a 2-0 in his serve round. Basically for me, i will do one step backward and perform a chop with arms loosen(though i am not a chopper), then ready for block and counterattack if the ball is long. If the ball is short, try to do a forehand push towards his backhand corner with your racket almost perpendicular to the table, adjust the angle if the ball drop to the net or fly out of the table.

[@LaurenceNyein]

This is interesting. How wide is your pendulum? Is it to backhand short? Does it go out side of the table? I mostly get the ball back to my backhand for my pendulum serves. I serve as wide as i can with backspin and a lot of side spins.

[@ghadman1061]

Thank you coach, I'll try tomorrow 😁

[@dimashevchenko1360]

Hello EmRatThich! I have a really big problem. When I do a serve (good one) then I get a perfect return to attack. I can go for no spin serves sometime and then I get a smash position or loop position.I attack it and the next shot I get a even better position for me but I totally miss it or I even miss the first opportunity. And it happens only on matches. Another thing is that I get really afraid when we do loop vs loop. Example backhand Vs backhand many times and I don't know when the opponent will change and shoot to my forehand. And then if I take that one on my FH he can go back or keep doing me stressed. And I get really frustrated because I am much better then them in real but I can not do it. In the trainings I feel I play like Ma Long but when going for matches I get totally lost. Table tennis is the fastest sport and it is played on a small table compared to football. This makes it reflexes the hardest thing to do for me. I would say that I am good at serving but can't keep the rally because I get stressed out. And usually on my training we don't do random drills so much. But I will ask them. So I want to know how to keep the good ball and don't get it into the net or somewhere else bad when smashing or looping. I also want to know how to change BH and FH during loop rally. This is the step that I think I need to become the better player in my club. I am going to try to get into the national championship if I can and I only have 6 months on my self to prepare my self. Exactly on my birthday the qualification to the nationals will be hold. These keypoints are really important to me. I know I can beat anybody but I get to afraid. My teammates are so afraid and they say "you are better and you will win" I also have that feeling that I should win but I am really bad at keeping my self in good condition. I can lose to a beginner because of this problem. I will try my best! You are the best table tennis coach I seen on the internet! I just love your videos and I am really thankful for this really good quality. Hope you answer even though your schedule. Thank you so much! /Dima

[@jacksamson480]

Hey, just looking for some advice. The season before this one my confidence was really high, i won 52/56 in my local league and 26/28 in my areas national junior league and we won division 1. I had this guy who was very good tactically for me, rubbish for emotional side of it. But in all fairness he helped. However last season my confidence dropped massively as I went up to div1 in local league. I won 30% of my matches and beat some players who were on 90% averages but in general my focus was not the same and was not enjoying or improving in my training with the coach I have. I'm setting my sights on next season and I'm working on physical and building up my confidence again. But tactically i need to get better again. My forehand in my strength like ma long. Can you recommend specific serves and tutorials I can use some I can try implement my strategy? I always struggled to flick wrist fast enough when serving

[@antoneil8056]

please make a video about severs and different simple and advance types plz.

[@tejaspagare6303]

what should be the tactic against a defender with long pimples

[@anhmt90]

try to train your FH drive and FH topspin against heavy backspin until it is consistent enough. In the match, drive the ball right left left right with your FH. :)

[@drgaurav75]

1. serve no spin on bh and then loop kill third ball. 2. play the flanks 3. improve your footwork

[@desert1987]

can make a video on how to counter people whose forehand and bckhand are equally good. nice video btw

[@dimashevchenko1360]

Desert Yeah. I think you should counter the forehand dominant player to play long underspin serves to the BH. As being a forehand dominant player I hate that. Side spin too

[@dimashevchenko1360]

counter looper if you are looper video would be perfect for me

[@shoeshiner9027]

[@oxidhdazoth5214]

[@whatavideo7098]

hello coach and thanks a lot for your awesome videos,they were very helpful to me. Well I play with (butterfly tamka 5000 blade),(donic coppa Jo platin rubber) on forehand, and(yasaka mark 5 rubber) on backhand,and the backhand rubber is not supporting me to play offensive. So can you suggest me a rubber and please tell some of the strategies for a left handed offensive player.

[@marcosmusixpcmusicam]

Very good, I am a forehand dominant player but I use to do the reverse pendulum serve... I am trying to change to normal pendulum (I am not so good doing that serve) so I can attack deeper, I tried so the last week but with no good results. I want to put this theory to work, it should work for me too.

[@s0810024]

I think you should keep the reverse pendulum serve instead, however, serve only at intense situation like 9-7 or 9-9 for direct 3rd ball attack win. For your other serves, you can just serve no spin or underspin to set up for your forehand attack instead of pendulum, as you are also making the opponent easier to flick and attack your ball if you create sidespin on your serve.

[@dimashevchenko1360]

kenso kaichi Great idea.

[@marcosmusixpcmusicam]

I think I understand what you say, in fact I use to serve reverse pendulum in intense situation, and that makes the oponents a bit nervous... but a long rev pendulum to the oponent backhand is always a risk, sometimes they play far to my forehand and do a winner... but it is a good tactic so far. I can vary: short, long, to backhand and to forehand, and it looks always the same ;) I also use underspin (to play sure or conservative) and even topspin serve (to attack the 3er ball) a lot, but my best serv is reverse pendulum now... Anyway, thanks to these videos my normal pendulum is better now and it is starting to work!

greetings emratthich Im kinda curious as an amateur player. im a forward spinner player When I play my forehand stroke it makes a sidespin instead of topspin thats why it confuse my opponent because it looks like a topsin ball but I want to know how to topspin the ball instead of sidespin . what should I do?should I do a shadow stroke in practice? but I want to maintain my forehand stroke with sidespin to confuse my opponent can you help me??? BIG thank you if you can reply or give a explanation/video on how to do it.

[@greenLinkLP]

raoul kristoffer esperas the reason for why you're topspins have too much side spin but lack power is either your wrist, which I'm that case wouldn't be in a neutral position, or your arm movement. If you have a circular movement, like a clock, then your stroke loses quality. So check your stroke movement first, and if it is good then the problem lies in the wrist

I go for the pendulum serve and get it returned too wide BH so I have to use backhand (weakness). I can't pivot because it is too wide. What should I do. Serve underspin or nospin? Thank you!

[@canicetang8837]

In that case, it is always imperative that you should cut off the angle before the ball gets too far off the table and your preferred hitting point. From the initial contact of your opponent's ball, you have to know what kind of ball it was return. Now, was it with heavy underspin and low, or curving out with sidespin but still has a reasonable bounce? Depends on your skills, you can either return the ball short with heavy underspin so your opponent has to figure out another way to initiate the attack, or you can do a medium to heavy loop return to keep your opponent from easily attack you. What might happened from your pendulum serve was that the placement of your short serve was either a bit too long, which gave your opponent a easier chance to induce a heavier spin wide to your backhand, or you simply do not have enough spin on your pendulum that your opponent can easily not only counter your spin, but to dominate it with his/her own. Those are the two classic mistakes when it comes to pendulum serve. As Coach EmRatThich explained as do many other coaches at all levels. The keys to a good serve are three levels. 1. Placement - Regardless of your style of serving, the short serve must be short enough where your opponent has to reach in order to return it, the angle must be acute enough to stifle your opponent, and also with the long service, it must be very close to the end of the table to throw off the position and the timing of the returner anticipating your serve. In addition, they must be very low so that your opponent cannot flip kill from being too high. 2. Spin - You must generate the amount of the spin on your pendulum because the returner must counter with enough to get the ball back to your intended target for you to have an advantage to initiate the attack. In particular to a no-spin or under spin serves (which do not require any pendulum motion) because it is a delicate serve. Again, the location must be extremely short and low to have any positive effect. Those serves should be used as a surprise serve rather than your regular serves. Good pendulum serves should have a tremendous amount of under and side spin to keep control, but also be deceptive enough to throw off your opponent's timing of return. 3. Variety of serves - Since you cannot use the same serves over and over again before your opponent figured out. Hence the (80% - 20%) rule of short and long serves to confuse your opponent. You should also learn to serve at various part of the table to get yourself acquainted with the angle of your serves. Again, the placement is important when you watch the opponent's stance in anticipation of receiving. Make sure that your opponent is covering more grounds to receive the ball than needed to give you the outright advantage for your third ball attack. That way, you can gain the momentum as the coach said from the 'advantageous' position to a 'dominant' point winning situation. Make sure that your opponent is committing errors from his/her serve receive. Then your chances of winning your points will be enhanced greatly. Good luck!

[@SilentArc]

Dima Shevchenko let's be realistic here. You got to practice that ball with your training partner. Do exercises to quickly move to the left using footwork. Loose weight to make it easier. If anything, you just need to back away from the table after your serve in order to hit the ball with your forehand

[@canicetang8837]

Great points!

[@guywhodoesstuff1798]

Honestly, you need to work on your backhand and anticipation. It is great to have a prefered of favorite attack, but it also great to have a good backhand when needed.

[@drgaurav75]

please try to focus and get the ball to land on the middle of the table on your opponents side. it should land in the area of A4 sheet kept close to the net . this way the second bounce will be close to the baseline and you will get a third ball attack that will not go to your extreme bh. vary the spin and length
